Dear %%user-name%%,

It is hard to believe it is already the Final Week  of our Fall Session! This is our last week, Week 16. Your 16-week and Annual Memberships end this week. Thank you for your Membership this Season! Our Catch of the Week will be Acadian Redfish. 

And Scallop Add ons this week, order here by midnight tonight! We have Scallops in 1lb and 5lb bags this week! Stock up, scallops freeze nicely!

If you still want to receive fresh, local seafood for the month of December, join our Annual Holiday Seafood Medley Session. Four weeks of a different, local seasonal seafood! Make it seafood for the Holidays! Sign up here.

A Holiday Medley share is just $100 for 4 weeks and makes a great gift! Sign up today.

If we don't see you in December,  we take a break while the Fishermen take a break, and start back in April! Sign ups will be available in February 2019!

STOCK YOUR FREEZER

And remember, we have Additional fish every week. Stock up on Redfish or Haddock here for the last week of the Session.

CATCH OF THE WEEK-ACADIAN REDFISH

Our fish this week is the Acadian Redfish, otherwise called "Red Perch" or "Ocean Perch".  This is our northern Atlantic Grouper species! This big eyed fish looks like a tropical fish from the islands. A member of the Rockfish (Grouper) family, the Redfish is a deep water, goggle eyed, slow-growing, fish that spans from Norway to Georges Bank in our Atlantic Ocean. Not to be confused with red drum, a southern species down south, the Redfish births live young (very rare with fish) and can live to be up to 50 years old! This species, once thought of as by-catch or lobster bait, is quickly becoming one of the more popular fish in the US, especially here in New England!

KNOW YOUR FISHERMEN

Your Fishermen this Week are the Captains and crew on our Guestboats out of Gloucester, Mass including F/V Captain Joe. Our only NH Fisherman fishing this week was Monk fishing, which we have offered several times this Session. We chose to give one of our less common offerings, the Redfish.

Whether cooking at home or ordering out, conscientious shoppers often face difficult choices. But when it comes to seafood, there are plenty of fish you can feel good about eating.

 

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

Redfish fillets are thin and have the skin on. All the good Omega-3's are in the skin! Cook these fillets for just a few minutes, on each side if frying, grilling or sauteeing! Season overnight for full flavor.

CATCH OF THE WEEK-ATLANTIC POLLOCK

Colin Barnard, on the F/V Witchcraft, Rye Harbor, offloading a vat of fish

Atlantic Pollock is quickly becoming the new signature New England fish, tasting much like cod and haddock and very abundant. Check out the article which appeared on our Facebook page:http://www.concordmonitor.com/Misunderstood-pollock-a-key-to-New-England-seafood-s-future-2011708.

Atlantic Pollock is related to cod and haddock and sometimes referred to as "Green cod".  Our Pollock are found in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean and are most common on the western Scotian Shelf and in the Gulf of Maine. A different species of Atlantic Pollock, commonly known as saithe, is found in the Eastern Atlantic.

Atlantic Pollock differs from Cod in that they have a greenish hue and slightly darker flesh. Not to be confused with Alaskan Pollock, found in the Pacific Ocean and one of the most harvested fish in the world. Alaskan Pollock is often times found in frozen fish sticks and fish fillets and a main ingredient in seafood salad and many processed seafood products.

And according to the Gulf of Maine Research Institute (GMRI), Atlantic Pollock is also one of the five Gulf of Maine fish, that you really can feel good about eating!
